what to do with cappings and wax after honey harvest?

When you have all wax together you take a big metallic bin, put water on bottom and capping wax in.

Then heat it so much that wax melts. Sieve liquid wax through  pantyhose or something and let wax cool.

Where you sieve wax is for excample old plastic bucket. Firts  put layer of water on bottom.
